Relax or Multitask?

For years, I was a multitasking queen. I was organized, efficient and knew how to keep a meeting moving – though unfortunately I was usually one of the schmucks forced to sit through the droning of a boss who enjoyed hearing him/herself talk.

I picked up the skills fast as a journalist and they just stuck. As a reporter, you have to be able to handle several projects while juggling stupid demands from (usually) idiot editors who don’t have a clue.

But I digress…

Of course a good thing like organization cannot last. I got burned out after a while – and I moved after I lost my job – so my entire existence changed. It really hasn’t been the same since. Neither have my organization skills.

May and June were Hell Months. Everything bottlenecked. Things weren’t working out right. It was incredibly stressful. I decided then that I would do whatever it took to get organized again, so I could have time to write and RELAX. (If my grill and I don’t get at least one day together a week, we both get cranky.)

Just how to do that, I’m still not quite sure. I’ve tried a few things, threw out some ideas and thought of new ones. I hope to hit a successful formula soon – one that does not entail murder to get some peace and quiet.

I absolutely LOVE chili dogs. All beef, gluten-free hot dogs with no nitrates or nitrites, smothered with homemade chili, shredded goat or non-dairy cheese, extra tomatoes, onions and peppers… YUM. Thing is, I get tired of doing chili dogs sans bun. One of my worst allergies in yeast, and since many gluten-free breads are yeasted,…

The other day, I wanted a chili dog. I just had that craving that would not go away until it was satisfied. We bought some gluten-free all beef hot dogs and gluten-free buns and had a great time grilling them. I try not to overwhelm myself with bun, so I hollow out one half of…

One day last year, as I randomly surfed Instagram, I found an ad for a new site called Brandless™. (affiliate link) I had been burned by an essential oil company (more on that later) for a sample product and really wasn’t looking to test a new company. But something about Brandless resonated. I love Amazon,…

In America, we waste more than 1/3 of our food each year – more than 70 billion pounds. The average family throws away 16 percent of the food it buys – worth about $640 per year, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. What should we do about it? Buy less, use more. Enter Leftover Thursday. I’ll…
